Re: [Phpwebsite-developers] 0.9.4 language testing and installation

[Ryan R. <to...@gm...>]

In response to your email calling for non-linux/mysql installation
tests, here's a few notes on Windows 2000 Server - Apache 1.3.29 - PHP
4.3.4 (no gettext) - MySQL 3.23.49

First off, let me extend my most sincere contrafibularities to you on
an impressive installation walkthrough/wizard.  Looks sharp, responds
quickly, very straightforward.

Here are a few issues that I had in my installation: 

1) When I'm installing, after step 1 (DB config) I get a 'Notice:
Missing a host reference."  I looked at the postDatabaseConfig() in
Setup.php and (~ line 123):

    if (!empty($_POST['dbhost']))
      $content[] = _("Notice: Missing a host reference.") . "<br />";

It seems that if you fill-in anything (i.e. !empty) for database host,
it throws this message.  Is this desired functionality?


2) After the installation process there are several undefined
constants or indexes which are displayed in PHP Notices:

Notice: Use of undefined constant PHPWS_DAY_START - assumed
'PHPWS_DAY_START' in e:\web\htdocs\phpwebsite094\core\class\Crutch.php
on line 53

Notice: Use of undefined constant PHPWS_TIME_DIFF - assumed
'PHPWS_TIME_DIFF' in e:\web\htdocs\phpwebsite094\core\class\Crutch.php
on line 54

Notice: Use of undefined constant PHPWS_DATE_FORMAT - assumed
'PHPWS_DATE_FORMAT' in
e:\web\htdocs\phpwebsite094\core\class\Crutch.php on line 57

Notice: Use of undefined constant PHPWS_TIME_FORMAT - assumed
'PHPWS_TIME_FORMAT' in
e:\web\htdocs\phpwebsite094\core\class\Crutch.php on line 58

Notice: Undefined index: users in
e:\web\htdocs\phpwebsite094\mod\layout\class\Layout.php on line 235

Notice: Use of undefined constant CURRENT_LANGUAGE - assumed
'CURRENT_LANGUAGE' in
e:\web\htdocs\phpwebsite094\mod\layout\class\Layout.php on line 448

Notice: Use of undefined constant CURRENT_LANGUAGE - assumed
'CURRENT_LANGUAGE' in
e:\web\htdocs\phpwebsite094\mod\layout\class\Layout.php on line 448

Notice: Use of undefined constant CURRENT_LANGUAGE - assumed
'CURRENT_LANGUAGE' in
e:\web\htdocs\phpwebsite094\mod\layout\class\Layout.php on line 450



3) There appears to be a localhost binding for some reason

In the page source, there's a <base>:

<base href="http://localhost/phpwebsite094/" />

This causes all relative references (most all) to be prefixed.  This
means that I cannot login due to the form submission attempting to
post to a local server.  It also means that all stylesheet and image
references are not found.


Just a few small things.  Let me know if there is any additional
information you need (i.e. PHP build functionality).  Or if there is
any other testing you need done (no, I'm not a linguist).
